## Discrepancy

RECEIVED BOOST PUMP FOR WARRANTY CREDIT WITH A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT OF (FUEL BOOST PUMP POPS CIRCUIT BREAKER).  PRELIMINARY INSPECTION OF THE PUMP REVEALED FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE INLET PORT.  FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THE FOREIGN MATERIAL TRIED TO PASS THROUGH THE PUMP AND HAD LOCKED THE ROTOR IN THE INSERT.  THIS WOULD CAUSE THE PUMP TO DRAW HIGH AMPS.  THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SEEN IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. (K)
